So not doing travel ball is now not being supportive of your kids?
I hope for your kids sake they get an education and come out smarter than their daddy.
No but if your kid loves a sport but you make the decision for him at 8 or even 10 that you aren't gonna do travel or work a bunch with him because you feel like it's BS, then yea its not being supportive.
You say all of that, but you also have not seen league play, most I know who are anti-travel either don't have kids that play or have kids that are lazy and not into sports at all.
Coming home from work, popping open a beer and watching TV and ignoring your kids is not being supportive. Going to the camp every weekend to drink isn't either.
And Yea playing travel means you can't also be smart
Dude I'm an engineer and my kids make 4.0s, hopefully they are smarter than me. But don't think because my kids play travel ball I'm not smart or my kids aren't smart, promise that's not the case.
Love all the conclusions people draw about travel ball who have no clue about it at all and think everything g is like the very very top levels.

My kids will go to private school and have anything they want. Playing sports is good. Obsessing over it to the point it dominates your family's life is a little ridiculous. Especially at the age you're talking about.
Travel ball in my day was reserved for high school kids. Not a bunch of 7/8 year olds. That's a bit absurd IMO.
I haven't had to make those decisions yet, but my kids can do whatever they want. Travel ball though won't be part of the equation though, especially not at that age.
